bbPress plugin messing with Meta Data – Website Title and Tagline
Can anyone help me figure out why the bbPress plugin is doing this on one of my websites but not the other.

Permaculture and Community Resilience

WordPress 3.4.1 — bbPress Version 2.1.2
http://transitiontopermaculture.org/about-us/what-is-permaculture/
WordPress 3.6 — bbPress Version 2.4

On one… the browser page title shows the title of the page, and the other shows the url.
I’d really love to fix the problem but having a hard time figuring out what the solution could be.

Would love it to look normal and show website title and tagline at the top of browser when on homepage, and other pages..

Also as I’m posting to Facebook its also ruining the metadata and just wants to post the url as both the title and the description.
If I deactivate the plugin the problem goes away.

Thank you

This is a known issue and a fix is in #2405 for release with bbPress 2.4.1

There is a bug in 2.4 causing this (https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2405), it’s been fixed for patch 2.4.1 but this hasn’t been released yet. The bug did not exist in earlier versions, hence it works on one for you but not the other. If you need it urgently you could apply the patch in the trac item yourself.

ETA: Damn, he beat me to it 😀

I’m unclear as to how to patch it myself.

Please advise.

Thank you for prompt responses.

I recommend you to just download the latest files from the trunk and upload it to your server and it should solve your issue.
After the v2.4.1 is release you could then just update your bbpress plugin again

2.4.1 was released yesterday. Update, and all should be well again.
